Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

You are cordially invited to George and Martha's for an evening of fun and games:

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, based on a fantastic play by Edward Albee, takes you on an exciting ride that won't soon forget. Elizabeth Taylor plays the drunk wife of an associate history professor, played by Richard Burton, who invite an unexpecting young couple over for a night of fun, which turns out to be a night of scandal.

The film starts with a little booze in everyone's system, but as the night goes on the bottles become empty and the sparks begin to fly, all while the poor young couple caught in the middle begins to see the flaws and secrets within their own marriage. Its hard to tell much more about Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? without spoiling it.

I believe this is one of the most powerful dark-comedic dramas, and I am proud to say that this is one of my favorite movies ever.
